OrderYards only estimates concrete. It does not measure your job. A photo trace, a typed length, the waste factor, and the dollar figure can all be wrong. Measure the form yourself with a tape before you order a truck or buy bags. This is not a survey, a batch ticket, or a bid.
Flatwork takeoff
Upload a photo, trace the area, get cubic yards in 60 seconds.

A straight-down shot of the form. Or skip the photo and type what the tape said.
Tap the corners with a finger. Mark one side you already measured so the yards mean something.
Cubic yards, 60 and 80 lb bags, and a material price with waste already in the number.

Tell the plant 4.25 yards. They sell in quarter-yard steps.
Under about 4–5 yards, ask what the short-load fee is. It can cost more than the concrete.
Ready-mix at $150 / yd. Bags figured at $6 (60 lb) and $7 (80 lb). Material only.
Estimates only. Verify with a tape before you order.
Sample form. Chalk line on the near side is 21 ft. Drag a corner if the orange misses the gravel. Shoot your own pad straight down.
Thickness
Waste factor
Yards = (sq ft × thickness in feet) ÷ 27, then waste. A 60 lb bag is 0.45 cu ft. An 80 lb bag is 0.60 cu ft.
Trace the form on the picture. Scale it off one edge you taped. No account, no drawing file.
Ten percent is the default. Drop it to 5 on a clean pad, or bump it to 15 when the base is ugly.
Big type, big targets, high contrast. Meant for a phone in the sun, not a laptop in a trailer.
Copy it or print it before you call. Yards, bags, and what the dollar figure does not include.
